Recently retired Imanol Erviti reportedly nearing role as Sports Director with INEOS Grenadiers

With his near two-decade-long career in the peloton coming to an end at the conclusion of the 2023 campaign, Imanol Erviti has reportedly already found a way to keep himself in and around professional cycling.

According to reports by Onda Vasca, the longtime Movistar Team road captain is close to joining the British-based INEOS Grenadiers. With a vast amount of experience to call upon, Erviti is seen as the perfect figurehead for the new reinforcements to INEOS Grenadiers coaching staff.

A two-time Vuelta a Espana stage winner during his pomp, Erviti would be working alongside fellow Spaniard and INEOS Grenadiers head coach, Xabier Artetxe if his move would go through.
